Chapter 86

In the spacious and bright private office, with leather sofas, solid wood desks, and top-of-the-line computers, the view from the window behind him revealed the most bustling area of the East Sea.

This was his new office, far better than the underground bunker. He had certainly upgraded, but why did he still have a male secretary, even though he was equipped with one? His wife, Xiaojing, clearly still didn’t trust him!

"Manager Mu, here are the documents for some of the group's factories!" Bai Xuexin walked into the office with a stack of files and placed them on Mu Yan's desk with a smile.

Mu Yan glanced at them with drooping eyes and said in a manner reminiscent of an old bureaucrat, "Xiaobai, in the future, don't bring these documents to me. Send them all to Manager Tong!"

Hearing Mu Yan's tone, Bai Xuexin felt like spitting blood. He cursed in his heart, "I'm already 29, two years older than you, and you call me 'Xiaobai.' This guy is so disrespectful. I have a master's degree from Yanjing University. If the president hadn't personally talked to me, I wouldn't have become a secretary to a high school dropout who was a labor reform prisoner. I wonder what the president sees in this guy to promote him to such a high position."

"Right, Xiaobai, the company promised to provide me with a car. Has it arrived yet?" Mu Yan followed up.

Although he was unhappy, Bai Xuexin was his secretary, and he had to listen to him unless he wanted to be out of a job. The president had already promised him that after Manager Tong's National Day, the deputy manager position would be his. So unless he was foolish, he wouldn’t quit now.

Hearing Mu Yan's question, Bai Xuexin immediately smiled and said, "I've asked about it. The president's idea is that Manager Mu can go to the dealership and choose any car as long as the total price doesn't exceed 500,000 yuan!"

"Ah! That's great! What are we waiting for? Take the documents to Manager Tong right away, and let's go to the 4S store!" Mu Yan immediately perked up.

Bai Xuexin saw that Mu Yan was being too obvious. As soon as he heard about the car, he wanted to skip work.

But since Mu Yan had spoken, Bai Xuexin could only hurriedly take the documents to Tong Ling's office.

When Mu Yan came out, he heard a series of curses from Tong Ling's office, and he could faintly hear his own name.

But Mu Yan pretended not to hear and took Bai Xuexin into the elevator.

The company had a driver's team with about seven or eight shared cars. Now that Mu Yan's status had changed, he just needed to call, and a driver would be ready to take him.

However, today seemed to be particularly busy, and only one Pu Sang was left. Mu Yan had to take this one.

The driver, surnamed Li, was in his forties, and Mu Yan called him Old Li.

Old Li was just an ordinary driver, but Mu Yan was the president's favorite. Now everyone in the company knew this. Seeing that Manager Mu was so polite to him, Old Li also had a good impression of Mu Yan.

Mu Yan directly said he wanted to look at a car. After asking about Mu Yan's requirements, Old Li recommended the Audi 4S store.

Mu Yan immediately accepted Old Li's suggestion, and they quickly arrived at the 4S store.

At the entrance of the 4S store, there were a few parking spaces. Old Li found an empty spot and parked the car. The three of them got out and went directly into the store.

According to Old Li, since Mu Yan was handling company affairs and would often go out for business, the A6 was the most suitable. The luxury model was about 500,000 yuan, and with some additional fees, it would be just right, making it the best deal.

Seeing that Old Li was well-informed, Mu Yan didn't want to trouble him. He sat on the sofa, drank the water offered by the salesgirl, and kept glancing at her.

Bai Xuexin, seeing this, felt that Mu Yan was too despicable. As a high-achieving student, he felt embarrassed to be with him. Although he sat there, he intentionally kept some distance.

Old Li, being a car expert, came back after more than an hour, smiling and said to Mu Yan, "Manager Mu, I've seen it. There's a luxury model in the garage, and the company has a ready license plate. Once the procedures are completed, you can take it away. The earliest you can get the car is tomorrow. I've also checked the car, and it's in perfect condition!"

"Old Li, you've worked hard. It's already noon. Let's go out for lunch. You choose the place, and I'll treat you!" Mu Yan smiled.

"Manager Mu, you're too polite. It's just a small matter!" Hearing that Mu Yan was treating him to lunch, Old Li also smiled and chatted.

Soon, the initial procedures were completed, and a deposit was paid. They just needed to wait for the other documents and certificates.

They left the 4S store and went directly to a hotel across the street for lunch.

The hotel wasn't too big or too small, mainly catering to customers from the 4S store and other shops. Today, there were many people, and the three of them arrived a bit late. Seeing that the place was full, they were about to leave, but just then, a table of people finished eating, so they sat down.

Perhaps because there were many people, the dishes came slowly. Although they didn't drink alcohol, it was already past 1 PM by the time they finished eating.

They returned to the 4S store to pick up the car. As they approached the car, Old Li suddenly shouted, "My car!"

Mu Yan looked at the car and saw that one of the side mirrors had been smashed, and there were many marks on the car, clearly from being hit.

If a company car was damaged outside, the driver had to pay for the repairs. The Pu Sang had no insurance, and while the marks could be ignored, the smashed mirror would result in a fine if driven, so it had to be fixed. This would mean Old Li had to pay out of his own pocket, which he was unwilling to do.

Seeing that Old Li had worked hard for him all morning and now his car was damaged, Mu Yan couldn't swallow this. Although there was no one around, the 4S store had cameras, and it would be easy to find out who did it.

Since he had just bought a car here, he believed the 4S store wouldn't ignore a customer's complaint.

So, he immediately went into the 4S store.

As soon as he entered, he saw a five- or six-year-old boy holding a small iron Guan Dao and chopping at a potted plant.

Mu Yan didn't need to check the surveillance to know that this little brat was the culprit. Seeing that there were no adults around, he immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Whose child is this? The adult, come out!"

Mu Yan's shout immediately drew everyone's attention. Then, a woman who looked about 28 or 29, quite pretty, and exuding a mature charm, came out. Behind her was a tall, muscular man, clearly a bodyguard.
